Sunderland's Bailey Wright sets standard for Black Cats ahead of League One play-off final

Sunderland defender Bailey Wright says "it's no job done yet" after the Black Cats reached the League One play-off final with a 2-1 aggregate win over Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough. Wright delivered a masterful defensive performance, winning man of the match as Alex Neil's side bagged a late aggregate winner through Patrick Roberts, who netted in injury time to send the travelling Sunderland fans into rapturous scenes.

The Black Cats had to weather the storm for lengthy periods of the contest, which looked to be heading for extra-time after Wednesday striker Lee Gregory levelled proceedings on 74 minutes. In the dying embers of the game, winger Jack Clarke skipped past Jordan Storey, crossing the ball into Roberts path, who fired home between the legs of Wednesday keeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell.

And following his man of the match performance, Wright believes Sunderland still have a way to go to if they want to realise their Championship promotion dreams.
